Ghostbusters paper models for Halloween Village

Since this Halloween we planned a Ghostbusters theme for our Halloween Village the first thing we needed were some Ghostbusters stuff. I did a search on the internet for Ghostbusers paper models and came up with 3 great paper models that will work for our village. First was a nice Stay Puff Marshmallow Man, fairly straight forward and fun model, lots of rounded shapes which added to the interesting aspects of building this model.

This model went fairly fast. You can find it here: Stay-Puft-Marshmallow-Man

Next came one of the most difficult and time consuming models of the whole display, the Ectomobile. Great model, lots of small parts and interesting details, including using some clear acetate for the windows and some work with wire for antennae, hoses and such. I also used some chrome cardstock for the chrome parts. The model only had pictures instead of directions, but not that difficult to follow.


This took a while, but worth it. You can find the model here: ecto-1 Paper Model. This model really deserved more time than I could put into it, but good enough for our display.

The final Ghostbusters themed model I decided to use was the Statue of Liberty, available at Canon Creative Park. Quick, easy build.

There are several other Ghostbusters themed paper models on the web, but none of them had the look or feel I wanted for our Halloween Village, so they didn't make it into this display. For an actual Ghostbuster I am using an action toy, more later.
